Gene specific to cancer and diagnosis kit using the same

Abstract

The present invention provides a new additional identification of a gene related to cancer expression and a diagnostic kit using the same.

1. A method for detecting rectal cancer or colon cancer, comprising the steps of: measuring an expression level of a protein consisting of an amino-acid sequence as in SEQ ID NO: 2 for each of two collected cells, wherein one of said two collected cells is a cell from a non-cancer tissue and the other of said two collected cells is a cell from a tissue suspected to be a cancer tissue, and wherein said measuring is performed comprising using western blot analysis and using an antibody against the protein consisting of the amino-acid sequence as in SEQ ID NO: 2;
 calculating a ratio between the measured expression levels; and 
 determining the other cell is a rectal cancer or colon cancer cell if the ratio between the measured expression levels is equal to or greater than 1.7.
